NEWCASTLE HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Rae Venner gave the following Valecictory address: Ladies and Gentlemn- Tanîight for Uic last time we ai the graduating class are taking part in the Commencement Exercises ai Newcastle High Scbool. We werc proud as Mr. Dewdney hand- cd us aur Diplomas. But had we stopped ta think we would have felt a moment ai sadness. We arc sorry ta part, sorry ta leave New- castle Higb. For four years wc bave shared happy moments and unbappy moments. We bave stu- died together and played together. And niow wc are four years aider and wiser, good fricnds and with a book ai memories that wiil stay with us and entertain us through the years ta came. As a class we bave stuck togeth- cr weli. Thirteen startcd out in g rade nine in 1943. The end ai that year thrce members lei t. Mrs. Gienney and Mr. McCoil lef t ta take up duties elsewbere. The next fall I joined the class and we had two new teachers, Miss Mor- gan and Mr. Venner. The foilow- ing June, Jane Lunt went home ta England and Mary Dewdney leit us ta go ta Bishop Strachan School in Toronto. The next year we lost Miss Morgan who leit us ta be marricd and Herman Sch- mid. Last year Mr. Goheen be- came aur new principal and Aud- rey, Gibson came ta us for a few months. Sa tonigbt there are nine ai us graduating, scien ai the "old ariginals." I wish wc couid al be here. Many ai you likeiy know what bas become ai us ail but for those who don't I would like ta tell you briefly. Four ai us bave gone back ta High School for fur- ther study-the boys Keith, Neil and Murray ta, Bowmanville High and I ta, Oshawa High. Three ai the girls bave gonè into hospitals ta train as nurses, Barbara, Betty and Joan and Mary is clerking in ber fathcr's store. Audrey Gib- son, the last of aur numbers is teaching school. I speak for myseli but I think the rest will agrce that these four years have been four of aur hap- piest. Perhaps thçy seemed un- important ta us as they passed, but naw and in the years ta come we will look back with fondness on aur days at goad ald N.H.S. Wc wan't think then ai the home- work and exams we graancd about or the times we thought things should havé been donc our way. Instead we'll rerpember the fun we had together-that wc all pull- cd through each grade and wcre pramated ta the next class. We'Il remember bow we used ta settie the affairs oi the country and Uic fates ofai a the leading politicians in our science spares in Grade 10. We'll remember the debates ai last year wbcre we argued till we were blue and then howled with laughter at the end because ai someonc's bright remark. We'Il remember the flash ai hydrogen we biew up in the lab anc day and how we teased a girl about the lettera she wrote in achool, and not take no as an answer ini apite af his persistent refusais. The comedy was ane of the best acted plays that has been put on by the students. The action was swift, there was no lagging af limes. The diction was excellent and their voices could be heard distinctly ta the back af the Hall. The cast were ail at ease ini their parts and each and every one gave a smooth acting performance. The cast: Newton Selby as Mr. ýones, Fae Jones as Mrs. Jones, Claire Aflin as the vivaciaus, per- sistent daughter, Jim Gilmer as Paul, the equally persistent son and Rodger Mellow as Mary's beau, Jack. They ail deserve gre'at praise for their exceptional- ly gaod acting. High praise is al- so due their director, Principal R. W. Goheen.

Com- mencement each, year, the plays we put on, the sangs we sang and haw wc thought. aur knees would shake. We'il think of the friendly competition on aur annual field day, the feast after it and the dish- es that had to be washed. We'll remember how we enjoyed aur Cadet Inspections even though we have been rained an twicc. Yes, aur memories will be happy ones. Newcastle High is a little school, perhaps ane af the smallest High Schools in Ontario. Maybe that is why it is such a friendly sehool. When you came ta Newcastle High a stranger, as I did, you are sure ai being welcomed and made ta feel at home and happy with the students. I arn glad and proud 1 VIMUYUaLtuN1111, 1119 7c that I can say "I went to Newcas- tle High School."
